Christmas With Us

So, I clearly have fallen off of the blogging wagon. But I do have Christmas pictures, so that is what you are going to get.
This year the odd thing happened that all of us, sisters, brother-in-law, and soon-to-be-brother-in-law, were all free before Christmas. We got to spend the weekend, Christmas Eve, and part of Christmas Day together with very little running around. We were just home, enjoying each others' company, playing games, flying a remote control helicopter into the tree, drinking moonshine... you know, normal family stuff.

Let's start with the nice family picture that we took of the seven of us:

Oh, wait, my sister still hasn't shared that.
Instead, here is our view of her setting up for the family picture.

We tend to be as compliant as toddlers when it comes time for family pictures, so I can't wait to see the candids from that one.

Emily and Luke aren't married yet, so the only form of affection they are allowed to show in the house is a handshake. And an awkward one at that:

Just kidding. They like each other.

Then we tried to take some sister pictures, which turned into a competition because we all part our hair on the same side. Problems, problems.

We opened some Christmas gifts up a little early, namely pajamas on Christmas Eve, and these lovely face masks, which the boys put on and then proceeded to pretend to be terrorists.

Stephanie and Steven bought lots of moonshine on their honeymoon, and they brought some home for us to enjoy.

And for one last random picture, here is Luke getting some work done. With a purple headband on his head. There are no words.

Tune in for the next post, which will be all about the craft projects that we all, and I mean ALL, worked on over Christmas Break :)

"Not all are called to be artists in the specific sense of the term. Yet, as Genesis has it, all men and women are entrusted with the task of crafting their own life: in a certain sense, they are to make of it a work of art, a masterpiece." -Saint John Paul the Great
